WJFN-FM (100.5 MHz) is a conservative talk-formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Goochland, Virginia, serving Goochland and Goochland County, Virginia. WJFN-FM is owned by John Fredericks, through licensee MAGA Radio Network, LLC.[1] Fredericks hosts the weekday morning show at the station, with other daily shows including syndicated talkers Mark Levin and Steve Bannon.

History

As WZEZ, the station broadcast a soft adult contemporary format as "EZ 100.5" until February 1, 2014, when Red Zebra Broadcasting began programming it under a local marketing agreement with a simulcast of sports station WXGI, under the "Sports FM 100.5" branding.[2] Educational Media Foundation acquired WZEZ from the Delmarva Educational Association for $125,000 in 2016 and made it Richmond's K-Love station;[3] on February 1, 2017, the call sign was changed to WLRB.[4]

EMF sold WLRB to Truth Broadcasting Corporation (whose principals, Stuart and Nancy Epperson, are also associated with Delmarva Educational Association) for $150,000 in 2018;[5] while the sale was taking place, the station changed its call sign to WVNZ-FM on July 24[4] and began carrying Radio Nueva Vida.[6] The call sign was changed to WJFN on September 27, 2018;[4] that October, John Fredericks began leasing the station to program a conservative talk format.[7] Fredericks bought the station outright for $155,000 effective December 20, 2019.[8]

Through sister company Disruptor Radio, John Fredericks agreed to buy similarly-formatted WNTW in Chester from Delmarva Educational Association in 2020;[9] WNTW already carried Fredericks' program, an arrangement that predated his acquisition of WJFN.[7] WJFN added the "-FM" suffix to its call sign on April 6, 2020, allowing Disruptor to request the unsuffixed WJFN callsign for WNTW.[10]
